About Jaime

After spending 14 years creating in Chicago, Jaime Lynn Henderson is an artist living and working in her Paseo studio in Oklahoma City. You can find her painting and blasting Motown or EDM with her mini goldendoodle, Henry. She received her BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Oklahoma in 2007 and her MFA in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009. After a few years exhibiting her work and enjoying a studio residency with the Chicago Artists' Coalition at the renowned Merchandise Mart, Jaime shifted gears to focus on a career in the Arts & Entertainment Industry as a TV & Film agent followed by her current career in Affordable Housing Finance. She was delighted to return to her love of art-making while spending the pandemic with family in the beautiful Virginia countryside. She returned to Chicago to continue creating and showing her work in May, 2022 and returned to her Oklahoma roots in August, 2023. Some fine folks from Split by Design created the below mini documentary about her work back in her reality show days on Season 1 of Bravo's "Work of Art" and though it is over 8 years old, the sentiments and passion remain the same. If you're curious to hear Jaime discuss her upbringing and how it informs her subject-matter, check out the video below for Underneath the Surface. For something a bit more recent, you can also scroll further to read her recent interview with Warrenton Lifestyle Magazine featured in their January, 2021 issue!
